road trip comedy
Comedic driving adventure
A road trip comedy is a film genre where humor emerges from characters traveling together by car, usually mismatched personalities forced into close quarters across long distances.
The journey typically involves breakdowns, wrong turns, and escalating mishaps: We watched every road trip comedy from the eighties.
The format naturally generates conflict and bonding between characters who wouldn't otherwise spend time together.
